Trouble with a capital “T”

The Episcopal Café has been seeing recurring efforts by hackers to take over our site. As a result, the editorial team has had difficulty accessing the site and it has been sometime impossible for readers to open it as well. We are working to counter their efforts, but it hasn’t been easy and their attacks have continued. We have no idea who is behind it or what their motivation is. It could be anything from someone with an axe to grind to bored kids somewhere or malicious robots practicing for world dominion. Mostly, we just wish they’d stop.

In the meantime, we’ve set up an alternative site at episcopal.cafe where we are posting new content. You can visit us there and as always you can follow us at Facebook or Twitter.

I’ve had no problem with seeing all messages.

I noticed the same thing, which is that the attacks appear linked to articles about the Charlottesville protests. If that is the case, people should know that we will never back down on this issue.

Have you tried disabling OneAll Social Login. Or at least the twitter Login. These attacks seem to be right after posts related to Confederate monuments, etc…

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.

The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
